The Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) has detected “delicate documentation” from Venezuela that, according to Víctor de Aldama, the main commission agent of the ‘Koldo case’, involves Pedro Sánchez. According to a report by investigators, which appears in the summary of the case of the alleged fraud in the hydrocarbon sector, the businessman received information related to the Venezuelan public oil company, PDVSA, from Delcy Rodríguez, the vice president. executive of the Maduro regime.
The agents explain that, in fact, they searched the home of one of Aldama’s partners, Luis Alberto Escolano, suspecting that he would be guarding the “sensitive information.” It was in the dump of the commission agent’s cell phone where they detected the existence of these documents related to Venezuela that had the distinctive seal of “Confidential”, despite the fact that up to now it has not been possible to determine the documentary content.
The report states that it is “significant” that the receipt of the information by the commission agent took place just fifteen days after the arrival of Delcy Rodríguez at the Madrid airport – widely known as ‘Delcygate’ and adds that the sender is the Minister of Popular Power of Petroleum, Manuel Quevedo Fernández, and president of the oil company of Venezuelan origin that, among other matters, was linked to the ‘Money Flight’ operation, of “money laundering”. money obtained through bribery and fraud.” The researchers thus ensure that the information would be related to the hydrocarbon sector.
That is why the magistrate instructing the procedure in the National Court has summoned Escolano to testify after the Armed Institute assured that he is a person of “maximum confidence” of the commission agent and who could know said documentary content. In any case, the relationship between Delcy Rodríguez and Aldama is, according to researchers, one of close trust. Something that would also be confirmed with the intermediation of the businessman in the recovery of the debt that Air Europa had with the Venezuelan country.
In parallel, the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard a few days ago assured that the fraud network linked to the hydrocarbon sector – headed by Aldama and another of his partners, Claudio Rivas – could continue to operate through still hidden instrumental companies and which would already exceed the 184 million euros defrauded. In turn, they detected the diversion of 74 million euros to bank accounts and companies established in Portugal, China and Colombia, which were transferred from May 2022 to February of last year. The plot, which would have paid for the chalet to former Minister of Development José Luis Ábalos, would also have diverted funds from the criminal activity of Villafuel, the main operator of the network, to companies based in Switzerland and, possibly, in Luxembourg, which enjoys a lower tax pressure.
